In A Sentimental Mood
dianne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come through my room
While your loving attitude
Is like a flame that lights the gloom
On the wings of every kiss drifts a melody
So strange and sweet in this sentimental bliss
You make my paradise complete
Rose petals seem to fall
It's all like a dream to call you mine
My heart's a lighter thing since
You made this night a thing divine
In a sentimental mood
I'm within a world so heavenly
For I never dreamt that you'd be
Loving sentimental me
